- Enantiodivergent syntheses of (+)- and (?)-1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)propan-2-ol: A way to access (+)- and (?)-mexiletine from D-(+)-mannitol
-
Chiron approach was used to acquire optically pure (R)- and (S)-1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)propan-2-ol, immediate precursors of (S)- and (R)-mexiletines, respectively. Two different routes were followed from a D-mannitol-derived optically pure common precursor to get the enantiomeric alcohols separately. Comparison of their specific rotation values with the corresponding literature values as well as exact mirror-image relationship between their CD curves proved their high enantiopurity. These alcohols were then transformed to the corresponding amine-drugs in an efficient one-step process instead of two steps described in the literature.

- Preparation of polar group derivative β-cyclodextrin bonded hydride silica chiral stationary phases and their chromatography separation performances
-
Three novel β-cyclodextrin compounds derived with piperidine which is flexible, L-proline containing a chiral center, ionic liquid with 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole as the cation were designed and synthesized as chiral selectors for enantiomer separation, whose name were (mono-6-deoxy-6-(piperidine)-β-cyclodextrin, mono-6-deoxy-6-(L-proline)-β-cyclodextrin, mono-6-deoxy-6-(3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole)-β-cyclodextrin, multi-substituted 3,5-diamino-1,2,4- triazole-(p-toluenesulfonic)-β-cyclodextrin), respectively. In addition, to enhance the polarity of chiral stationary phases, hydrosilylation and silylation reactions were implemented to derive ordinary silica, the common used selector carrier, to hydride silica, whose surface is covered with proton. 31 pyrrolidine compounds and some chiral drugs were tested in both polar organic mobile phase mode and normal mobile phase mode. 6-Deoxy-6-L-proline-β-cyclodextrin-CSP showed satisfactory separations in polar organic mobile phase mode and exihibited a strong separation capability in different pH values; multi-substituted 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole-(p-toluenesulfonic)-β-cyclodextrin-CSP can separate pyrrolidine compounds in both mobile phase modes with high resolutions and separation efficiency compared to commercially available CSPs, making it to be the most valuable object to study. The composition of mobile phase, type of stationary phase as well as the peak problem of chromatograms was discussed deeply.

- Liquid chromatographic resolution of mexiletine and its analogs on crown ether-based chiral stationary phases
-
Mexiletine, an effective class IB antiarrhythmic agent, and its analogs were resolved on three different crown ether-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs), one (CSP 1) of which is based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12- tetracarboxylic acid and the other two (CSP 2 and CSP 3) are based on (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6. Mexiletine was resolved with a resolution (RS) of greater than 1.00 on CSP 1 and CSP 3 containing residual silanol group-protecting n-octyl groups on the silica surface, but with a resolution (RS) of less than 1.00 on CSP 2. The chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of mexiletine analogs containing a substituted phenyl group at the chiral center on the three CSPs were quite dependent on the phenoxy group of analytes. Namely, mexiletine analogs containing 2,6-dimethylphenoxy, 3,4-dimethylphenoxy, 3-methylphenoxy, 4-methylphenoxy, and a simple phenoxy group were resolved very well on the three CSPs even though the chiral recognition efficiencies vary with the CSPs. However, mexiletine analogs containing 2-methylphenoxy group were not resolved at all or only slightly resolved. Among the three CSPs, CSP 3 was found to show the highest chiral recognition efficiencies for the resolution of mexiletine and its analogs, especially in terms of resolution (RS).

- Asymmetric hydrolytic kinetic resolution with recyclable macrocyclic CoIII-salen complexes: A practical strategy in the preparation of (R)-mexiletine and (S)-propranolol
-
A chiral cobalt(III) complex (1 e) was synthesized by the interaction of cobalt(II) acetate and ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate with a chiral dinuclear macrocyclic salen ligand that was derived from 1R,2R-(-)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane with trigol bis-aldehyde. A variety of epoxides and glycidyl ethers were suitable substrates for the reaction with water in the presence of chiral macrocyclic salen complex 1 e at room temperature to afford chiral epoxides and diols by hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR). Excellent yields (47 % with respect to the epoxides, 53 % with respect to the diols) and high enantioselectivity (ee>99 % for the epoxides, up to 96 % for the diols) were achieved in 2.5-16 h. The CoIII macrocyclic salen complex (1 e) maintained its performance on a multigram scale and was expediently recycled a number of times. We further extended our study of chiral epoxides that were synthesized by using HKR to the synthesis of chiral drug molecules (R)-mexiletine and (S)-propranolol.

- Deracemisation of α-chiral primary amines by a one-pot, two-step cascade reaction catalysed by ω-transaminases
-
Racemic a-chiral primary amines were deracemised to optically pure amines in up to >99 % conversion and >99 % ee within 48 h. The deracemisation was a result of a stereoinver- sion of one amine enantiomer; the formal stereoinversion was achieved by a one-pot, two-step procedure: in the first step, kinetic resolution of the chiral racemic amine was performed by employing a -transaminase to yield an intermediate ketone and the remaining optically pure amine; in the second step, the ketone intermediate was stereoselectively transformed into the amine by employing alanine as the amine donor and a -transaminase displaying opposite stereopref- erence than the -transaminase in the first step. In the second step, lactate dehydrogenase was used to remove the side product pyruvate to shift the unfavourable reaction equilibrium to the product side. Depending on the order of the en- antiocomplementary enzymes employed in the cascade, the (R), as well as the (S), enantiomer was accessible.

- Nucleophilic substitution of (sulfonyloxymethyl)aziridines: an asymmetric synthesis of both isomers of mexiletine
-
The nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1-[1′(R)-α-methylbenzyl]-(2R)- and (2S)-(sulfonyloxymethyl)aziridines were carried out with various nucleophiles including N3-, MeO-, CN-, SCN-, and diarylcuprates. The reaction pathway is influenced by the stereochemistry of the substrates, nucleophiles, and also the structure of the leaving groups. When the reaction site is less sterically hindered for the reactive nucleophiles to approach to the substrate 1-[1′(R)-α-methylbenzyl]-(2S)-(p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl)aziridines, product is obtained as a single isomer while all the other starting materials afford a mixture of two isomers from two different reaction pathways. Application of this method enabled us to prepare both isomers of orally effective antiarrhythmic agent mexiletine.

-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A practical and efficient procedure for the enantioselective synthesis of mexiletine analogues with use of 10% of spiroborate ester 6 as chirality transfer agent is presented. A variety of mexiletine analogues were prepared in good yield with excellent enantioselectivities (91-97% ee) from readily available starting materials. The developed methodology was also successfully applied for the synthesis of novel β-amino ethers containing thiophenyl and pyridyl fragments.

- Stereospecific synthesis of mexiletine and related compounds: Mitsunobu versus Williamson reaction
-
Mexiletine [1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-2-propanamine], a chiral, orally effective antiarrhythmic agent, and several analogues substituted on either the stereogenic centre or the xylyloxy moiety, were prepared in both, highly enriched, optically active forms. According to the 'chiral pool' approach, the appropriate amino alcohols, protected as the corresponding phthalimide derivatives, were condensed with the desired phenols under either Mitsunobu (method A) or Williamson (method B) conditions. Generally, method A provided the most efficient route, both in terms of yields and number of steps necessary. Only when an isopropyl group was present on the stereogenic centre, i.e. when 2-amino-3-methylbutanol was used as the starting alcohol, method B proved to be the only available route, method A giving no product other than the starting phthalimide derivative. Regardless of the method used, enantiomeric excesses ranged from 91 to 99%. Given the availability of both variously substituted phenols and optically active amino alcohols, the two methods described herein, taken together, may serve as a versatile approach, useful to meet the needs of new chiral, optically active mexiletine analogues, possibly endowed with higher potency in exerting a use-dependent block on sodium channels and/or more resistant to biotransformations.

- Preparation of highly enantiopure stereoisomers of 1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-2-aminopropane (mexiletine)
-
Mexiletine [1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-2-aminopropane], an orally effective antiarrhythmic agent, exhibits enantioselective pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics during mexiletine therapy. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the advantage of tetrahydropyranyl-protected mandelic acid (THPMA) in the resolution of mexiletine enantiomers. Both enantiomers of mexiletine were obtained in 99% enantiomeric excess. Judging by the differential shielding effects in the 1H and 13C NMR analyses, we have observed the opposite predominant conformation for the mexiletine mandelates in comparison with the O-methylmandelates.
